The 1964 Aston Martin DB5, boasts revolving registration plates, ejector seat and bullet-proof shield, and featured in the films Goldfinger and Thunderball.
The silver DB5 is capable of 145mph and 0-60mph in 7.1 seconds.
Bond's creator Ian Fleming had originally envisaged his British spy in a Bentley, but the Aston Martin was preferred by film-makers for its enthralling combination of Italian design and British engineering. A less sophisticated version of the car was released in the UK in 1963. It had a top speed of 145 mph (233 km/h).
On 27th October 2010 an American car enthusiast has paid £2.6m to buy James Bond's most famous car and then vowed to take it for a spin around the streets of London before placing it into a private museum. The DB5 was expected to top $5 Million at auction. American broadcasting boss Jerry Lee bought the DB5 for just over £8,000 in 1969 and since then it has spent much of its time in the United States.
The photograph to the left is of the front interior, featuring leather seats, albeit showing their age now. James Bond also had a telephone which is very modern by the standards of 1964. There is also a very early version of a sat nav device, in this case showing a still image of London. If you look closely you can also see the little red button on top of the gear lever which controlled the ejector seat. The speedometer shows a top speed of 180 mph and the Tachometer shows the engine red lines at 5,500 rpm.
